D.L. Moody

Each Sunday we post a short classic piece from someone signally used by God down through the history of the church. Today we look to a classic sermon preached by Dwight L. Moody (1837-1889).

Qualifications for Soul Winning

by Dwight L. Moody

God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of. God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls.

“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3.

My Top 5 Favorite Preachers Today

  • Written by Phil
  • Posted February 16, 2010 at 7:00 am

A list like this, of course, is very subjective, and I hasten to add that this is not some “fan” list; I do not wish to adulate or idolize these men. They are simply preachers that I find consistently helpful – they encourage my spiritual growth.

I also set the criteria for this list that they had to be currently active preachers.

If I were considering preachers in print, my all time favorite would be “The Prince of Preachers”, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, followed closely by a slew of 17th Century Puritans.

If I were considering preachers you can still get audio for, but who are no longer preaching, the list would be headed by Dr.Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and would include such legends as Adrian Rogers, Stephen Olford, Leonard Ravenhill, Alan Redpath and Vance Havner.

Disclaimers aside, here’s my current list:

This morning’s Message Outline:

Palm Sunday 4/5/09 – First Assembly of God

“Do You Think He Will Not Come?”

John 11:56

So, will He come to Jerusalem? Does He dare? The question is about to be resoundly answered. Absolutely He will come!

1. He’ll come because it was for this purpose that He took on flesh

2. He’ll come because no man holds His destiny

3. He’ll come because this week is the apex of eternity

Once again in 2009 the same question is being asked. 2 Peter 3:3-10.

He will come. Are you ready?

Sermon – The Madhouse of the Universe

  • Written by Phil

Oswald J. Smith was the Pastor of The People’s Church in Toronto, Canada.

He had a burning passion for evangelism, and over the course of his ministry raised millions of dollars for the cause of world missions. He popularized the Faith Promise system of prioritizing missions giving that is still used in thousands of local churches.

“The Madhouse of the Universe” is an evangelistic sermon he preached on the subject of hell. Based on a simple idea and outline, Smith’s imagery is vivid and compelling. CLICK HERE to download this classic sermon from my download page.

  • Written by Phil

On October 23rd, Paul Washer preached in Atlanta, a sermon entitled “10 Indictments Against the Modern Church in America”.

Links have popped up all over the internet to watch or listen to it.

Every Christian needs to hear it through at least once. Every preacher and pastor more than once. So let me give you the links …

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD THE AUDIO

 
In summary, here at the 10 Indictments:

1. A practical denial of the sufficiency of Scripture.
2. An ignorance of God.
3. A failure to address man’s malady.
4. Ignorance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
5. An ignorance of the doctrine of Regeneration.
6. Ignorance regarding the nature of the Church.
7. A lack of loving and compassionate Church discipline.
8. A silence on Separation.
9. Psychology and Sociology have replaced the Scriptures with regards to the family.
10. A lack of discipline.
